I feel the same about the “studies show that mushrooms/LSD/Acid/Ketamine help to reduce depression” it’s the same story every month on the front page of Reddit but my insurance still doesn’t cover ketamine treat. (I’ve checked)

You might feel nauseous due to the hallucinogenic effect. It's best to have a trip-sitter with you to help calm you down if things get too intense. Your senses might feel more sensitive (light/dark, hot/cold, etc) and you might feel like you understand the universe more, might feel like you can go through time, might think your entire life is not real, might just be more happy and childish. All depends on yourself, your current state of mind, and your dose. /r/shrooms has a lot of helpful information.

Fuck, when I was hooked on opiates a few years back, the cheapest rehab I could find was 9 fucking grand. It's absolute bullshit that all of these programs to get better are prohibitivly expensive to the people who need them most. Imagine how much better we could be, as a society, if we could actually experience these options. Junkies don't have 9 grand for rehab, if they did, they wouldn't be looking for rehab.

I agree the options are shitty for people who need addiction treatment the most. Plus big pharma is simply pushing less harmful opiates as the solution. Methadone and suboxone have their place, but the current treatment seems to prefer shackling people to something else instead of a more counseling centered approach.
